After having just completed another batch of Ebay consignments with Barry..I have to say that there is probably no one better to deal in this hobby. Honesty, integrity, speedy payments and even pick up service if you're in the neighborhood...what more would you want when selling.The same goes for when I've consigned to his regular auctions.
I'm sure most of you know this already but for those that don't, Barry Sloate is incredible to deal with.
Thanks Barry!
Alan

Plus I offer a free pair of oven mitts to each new consignor!

Thanks Alan, but you didn't have to do that.

who is barry sloate?

Sorry for sounding like a commercial

"Plus I offer a free pair of oven mitts to each new consignor!``

Wow, those would really be great in conjunction with my hand-modeling career!

Just beware of low talkers and hot irons Jodi!

And don't forget what happened to the last hand model. Tragic!

In Rememberance of James W. Brennan Sr. 1924-1982. Dad, thanks for everything you did for me.

He was not master of his own domain!

His hands are delicate...yet masculine!

"who is barry sloate?"


Joe D,

A board troublemaker of sorts. Last week he was invloved in a dispute with Marshall. Just yesterday, he was advocating a "bash PSA" thread! I think he's one of those hated "Liberals", too! He might even be French!

Jim is right...I do get into a lot of trouble.

Barry-

We won't be hearing anytime soon that another auction house as acquired the rights to Sloate Auctions will we?

Feel free to make an offer...(notice how by answering all questions I keep bumping this back up to the top).

Rumor has it he's been bought out by Art Vandelay Auctions.

I heard the bidders included Billy Mays and that SHAMWOW guy.

Billy Mays and Shamwow guy are both rumored to do strange things with cards. There's no way that just using a Shamwow can improve the centering of cards.

I wonder what happens when you soak a card and dry it between layers of SHAMWOW!

Send all your problematic cards to Billy Mays; he actually shouts the creases off!



BUT WAIT! SEND IN TWO CARDS AND I LL DOUBLE YOUR ORDER! JUST PAY SEPARATE SHIPPING AND PROCESSING!

I can see the Post-Shamwow PSA flip now:

PSA 4-SW

Joshua

Is Art VanDelay Auctions a wholly-owned subsidiary of VanDelay Industries?
or do they fall under the Collectors Universe umbrella?

Barry is one of the, if not the greatest mensch in this business.

Thanks Alan- people don't throw around mensch every day.

I use Mighty Putty to hold my cards in their photo album.

Oh, and that Barry guy is pretty good too.

Barry's tears cured my gout!

"Rumor has it he's been bought out by Art Vandelay Auctions."

LOL.
JimB

I once saw him scissor kick Angela Lansbury.

Barry is an alright guy. Most folks don't know this but he was originally the sixth and founding member of NSYNC. The band had a falling out with him in the late 90's because they felt they didn't need an accordion player...their loss.

Did I ever tell you about the time Barry and I went horseback riding, but there weren't any horses around? Anyway, Barry throws a saddle on my back and rides me around Nebraska for three days. Well, wouldn't ya know it, my stamina increased with each day, and I develop tremendous leg muscles. So anyway, Barry decides to enter me into the Breeders Cup under the name Turkish Trophy. And I'm running in second place, and I'm running, and I break my ankle. So anyway, they're about to shoot me. Then someone from the crowd yells out, God bless him, Don't shoot him, he's a human.

"I once saw him scissor kick Angela Lansbury."

I'm sure she deserved it. That woman was a one person crime wave! If we had forced her to stay home in Cabot Cove, the murder rate would have dropped across the rest of the country.

Steve,

I think the tears curing gout is a miracle.

Dan,

Scissor kicking Angela Lansbury and riding you around Nebraska aren't really miracles.


Can someone please find another miracle so that we can have the Catholic church consider him for Canonization? Of course, that would be up to Barry if he'd want this honor. But Barry, think about it, you'd probably be the only guy in your Synagogue that can make that claim! How cool would that be? Wait a minute, on second thought maybe that wouldn't be so good because I think there was something about having an exemplary life and DEATH to be considered for Canonization... ok, we'll find the miracle but postpone the Canonization until a much later time...

This is like a roast...all we're missing is Dean Martin and Shecky Green.

Did you hear? The judges name was Vandelay. That has to be a good sign? Right?

In Rememberance of James W. Brennan Sr. 1924-1982. Dad, thanks for everything you did for me.

Did you know that George introduced his Art Vandelay persona in the 2nd episode, which happens to be on TBS tonight ("The Stakeout")?

Art Corvalay

He starts with Corvalay, and as he plays with it it morphs into Vandelay.

So anyway, Barry would put on a white tie and tails and walk his cobra through the park on a leash. He named the cobra Beverly, and he taught it how to fetch and dial a phone. But then one day it bit the maid. So with tears in his eyes, Barry had to shoot the maid.

Dan- I get the feeling there is some pop culture reference in your posts, and I am missing it.

For shame Barry! I didn't think I could sneak SNL references past you.

He then tied an onion to his belt, which was the style at the time. He had a nickel in his pocket. In those days, nickels had pictures of bees on them. Give me five bees for a quarter, wed say.

For a board full of guys who do not like self promotion,horse racing and such this thread was right on the money. Keep up the good work. The thing i liked the best in this thread is that Barry responded first LMAO it was almost like taking a bow before the audience even clapped.

Smiton's Bay is in the 5th tonight but she is so lazy that i may have to drag her out of the barn but she may grab a small piece, watch out next time however when she is dropped into 6 furlongs where she belongs because she will be boxcars which is just the way you like it.

Dan- I've been out of the SNL loop for the past few years, so if you could be so kind as to fill me in, it would be appreciated.

Edited to add, I know that routine. I remember he was very drunk and always spoke about that Brasky character. Got it.

Barry taught my horse how to read.

I always thought Alec Baldwin would have made a great regular addition to the SNL cast. I think he's always been my favorite guest host followed by John Goodman and Steve Martin.

And of course I haven't responded to Marshall, but I will let it slide. I'm in a good mood today.

Dan- if memory serves, Baldwin, Martin, and Goodman have hosted the show more times than anyone else. I think each one has done it at least 15 times. Martin hosted recently, and I think he is in first place.

Yep...there's a reason why they keep getting asked back.

Oh..and I'd also add Christopher Walken to that list.

Besides the obvious cowbell routine, I loved the suave character he played who was always serving champagne and talking to some invisible guest.

"The Continental"

SNL trivia: who were the only cast members who worked together and later got married?

brad hall and julia louis dreyfuss

Too easy.

I heard they are getting the band back together for some episodes of Curb your Enthusiasm,...should be very interesting

I read that about a month ago. All of the Seinfeld regulars will appear on Curb this fall.

I heard it too, and I'm guessing the theme for the season may be that Larry is trying to do a Seinfeld reunion show...how else can all four of them be worked into the story? All but Michael Richards have already appeared in episodes.

Barry are we cross? Does this mean we are not friends? I do not think i could bear it if we were not friends......Marshall takes out both guns and puts them on the table.....now perhaps we can be friends.

Sure Marshall, friends.

And I thought this guy was leaving the board for good...

And I thought this guy was leaving the board for good...

It is long past time that Sloate character should have been banned.

David knows...

Your trapped in a room with a two rabid wolves and Marshall. The guns on the table have one round each... What would you do.

Sorry to hijack your thread, but couldn't control it.

I know the answer, but I intend to take the high road.

The question assumes you can tell them apart.

There is no chin behind Barry's beard. There is only another fist.

Is Marshall back ?

Doug...i like where you're going with this...


-If you have five dollars and Barry has five dollars, Barry has more money than you.

-There is no 'ctrl' button on Barry's computer. Barry is always in control.

-Apple pays Barry .99 cents every time he listens to a song.

-Barry can sneeze with his eyes open.

-Barry can eat just one Lay's potato chip.

-Barry is suing Myspace for taking the name of what he calls everything around you.

-Barry destroyed the periodic table, because he only recognizes the element of surprise.

-Barry can kill two stones with one bird.




Barry is Aces.

You forgot:

Barry can slam a revolving door.

There are no short printed cards. There are only cards Barry doesn't like as much as the others.

Actually i was quoting a line from the movie Tombstone when a fellow is highly upset with Doc Holliday at the beginning of the movie.....i figured no one would get it. I have no issues with you Barry because i do not get offended.

barry doesn't cut his grass, he stands there and dares it to grow...
there's no such thing as disabled people, only people that have pissed off barry.

true story: barry lost his virginity before his father.

Barry could take a man out with just one punch
But he never did like to talk about it all that much
"It's my work," he'd say,
"I do it for pay."

One time I was with Barry in the back of a pickup truck, along with a live deer. Barry goes up to the deer and says, Im Barry Sloate! SAY IT! Then he manipulates the deers lips in such a way as to make it say, Barrysloate It wasnt exactly like it, but it was pretty good for a deer!

When Neil Armstrong landed on the moon he found a bottle of scotch and Barry's wallet.

Fred Merkle didn't forget to touch second. He simply realized Barry already occupied the base and in his words "Didn't want to intrude upon Barry's space."

In related history. The Cub's didn't "retrieve" the ball from the bleachers. While cowarding in fear under the bleachers, Johnny Evers discovered an equally frightened ball and after waiting several minutes for Barry to decide to take his greatness elsewhere he and the ball returned to second base and the rest is well....

i posted this TRUE story last August...here it is again, in its entirety...

"i must say, this is the first i'm hearing about the Sloate comment...i have seen, first hand, Barry in the clubs, he rolls in with the chains, fadora hat, velour shirts and the irresistable scent of "sex panther"...Barry is unstoppable, women go nuts for him...i mean i have tons of game and do pretty well with the ladies myself, but the girls walk right past me when Sloate's in the club. i remember this one time he was holding court poolside on the roof of the Gansevoort, we had Wonka there, Lichtman, Leon and maybe about 11 to 15 models all around us, i think Lindsey Lohan or one of those other celebs was there with us too...anyway, Barry was sipping Grand Marnier and doing slight-of-hand magic tricks and telling hysterical jokes...i mean we were slumped over laughing, and everyone was applauding...i think at one point, he was making balloon animals for the models (they like that sort of thing)...so before we knew it, the manager came over and bought us dinner and drinks for the rest of the night. i think by 4am, the manager offered Barry the penthouse suite adjacent to the pool...he retired to said suite with 5 girls on his arms (he left us with a few he didn't fancy)...i've never seen such prowess with the ladies...anyone who questions his manhood, need only buy him a Grand Marnier at the bar to get him started, then sit back and marvel at the legend."

He sired a baseball team....an orchestra if you count the bastards.

OK...a few more.


"He'd eat a homeless person if you dared him!"

"His poop is used as currency in Argentina."

"He sweats Gatorade"

"He once breast-fed a flamingo back to health."

"He sheds his skin once a year."

"I once saw him eat a whole live chicken."

"Barry could palm a medicine ball!"

"Did I ever tell you about the time Barry took me out to go get a drink with him? We go off looking for a bar and we can't find one. Finally Barry takes me to a vacant lot and says, 'Here we are.' We sat there for a year and a half and sure enough someone constructs a bar around us. The day they opened we ordered a shot, drank it, and then burned the place to the ground. Barry yelled over the roar of the flames, 'Always leave things the way you found em!'"

"He once punched a hole in a cow just to see who was coming up the road."

"He taught me how to make love to a woman, and how to scold a child."

"They found $60 in change in his stomach."

"Barry drank a full glass of liquid LSD with his eggs. Then he slept for 8 months straight. When he woke he rubbed his eyes and said, 'All in all, I prefer gin.'"

"He once inhaled a seagull."

"He drives an ice cream truck covered in human skulls."

"You know, he would shoot whiskey into his neck with a syringe!"

"He has dandruff the size of mice!"

"He jogged with a fridge on his back!"

"Barry's family crest is a picture of a baracudda eating Neil Armstrong."

"Did I ever tell you about the time Barry was in a production of, 'The King & I?' On opening night, Barry chloroforms the entire cast and slowly eats them in front of the audience for two hours. The production got pretty good reviews."

"He wears a live rattlesnake as a condom."

I heard that Barry graduated high school one year ahead of George Burns. It's just a hobby rumor though.

In Rememberance of James W. Brennan Sr. 1924-1982. Dad, thanks for everything you did for me.

for Best of 2009

Oh my God...

I had a dream last night and a voice spoke to me. The voice told me to do something so I woke up and I got my Beatles "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" album out and I played side 2 track 6 backwards at 1/3 speed and there it was.... John Lenon repeating "Barry's the Messiah, Barry's the Messiah". Now I am a desciple of Barry...

We'd all not be here today if he hadn't put his big bang theory to the test.

Barry stares at the sun during a total solar eclipse and the sun goes blind.

"There is no theory of evolution. Just a list of creatures Barry has allowed to live."

I just wish Barry would come to a National, so we can toast him in person.

And how about...

Even Hunter S Thompson said "no way, man" to half the stuff Barry did in the 70's.

The original song title was "Bad, Bad Barry Sloate"

The Soup Nazi has never refused soup to Barry

He's very big in Sicily (if you know what I mean)

Inchon landing? Based on Barry's first childhood doodle

Barry has some of the most bad ass prison tats you will ever see!

Last dinner he melted a plastic comb with a lighter and gave both Sarno and I killer black spider tattoos on our back sides with a ball point pen.

Thanks again Barry!

I heard he has moles so big they have their own moles.

Wonka-

Unfortunately I'm picturing Sloate down on one knee tattooing ya'lls butts.

My favorite Barry Sloate moment in my own personal life. I've never actually met the guy but if I do someday I wouldn't say I never met him anymore

Barry turned me into a newt...
and I didn't get better

Did you know if you rearrange the letters in Barry's name he gets angry.

Barry doesn't use a Spell Checker, the Oxford English Dictionary conforms to his usage...

-Barry's version of a "chocolate milkshake" is a raw porterhouse wrapped around ten Hershey bars, and doused in diesel fuel.

-If Barry round-house kicks you, you will die. If Barry misses you with the round-house kick, the wind behind the kick will tear out your pancreas.

-In a fight between Batman and Darth Vader, the winner would be Barry Sloate.

-Everybody loves Raymond. Except Barry Sloate.

-Barry can win at solitaire with only 18 cards.

-Barry doesn't look both ways before he crosses the street... he just roundhouses any cars that get too close.

-Barry doesn't wear a watch, HE decides what time it is.

-The phrase 'balls to the wall' was originally conceived to describe Barry Sloate entering any building smaller than an aircraft hangar.

-The phrase 'dead ringer' refers to someone who sits behind Barry in a movie theater and forgets to turn their cell phone off.

-Staring at Barry for extended periods of time without proper eye protection will cause blindess, and possibly foot sized brusies on the face.

-One time, Barry Sloate accidentally stubbed his toe. It destroyed the entire state of Ohio.

-Barry Sloate can blow bubbles with beef jerky.

-Barry Sloate has never been in a fight, ever. Do you call one roundhouse kick to the face a fight?

-If you were somehow able to land a punch on Barry Sloate, your entire arm would shatter upon impact. This is only in theory, since, come on, who in their right mind would try this?

-Barry Sloate uses 8'x10' sheets of plywood as toilet paper.

I heard he has moles so big they have their own moles.

Wondering what Barry's middle name might be...

did you know that Barry had a little lamb ?

Did you know they named a song after thee Barry, called "Barry dont you walk so fast" . It went, Barry dont you walk so fast, oh oh oh oha Barry dont you walk so fast, Barry slow down some cause your makin'me _ ,uh Barry dont you walk so fast.

Barry's pop used to sey hey stupid, Barry thought he was calling him hey.

All in fun Barry , since you are roasted ,I couldnt resist !

Barry's middle name is Francis Marshall

It has been all in fun Dan, and everyone has been so kind (and funny too). But I feel a little embarrassed to see my name keep popping up to the top, so maybe it is time to say thank you to all and let this one slide down.

And my middle name is David.

You might not want the recognition but just think of all the positive publicity youll get from this thread when people google "Barry Sloate"


I will sell my cards thru Barry for fear of retribution

It aint sliding until it's a hundred post thread. This is 99! Next will be 100!

POST 100!

It's been a Barry, Barry fun thread!

through the years you have always been fair in dealings. It was always something you couldnt wait for as the offerings were what we liked best, PRE WAR. Thanks for that !

I joined this board about 2 years ago, and to date Barry is the only member to correct my grammar.. reminds me of my 11th grade English teacher, minus the boobs.. well, minus the big boobs!

marty

I was an English teacher too Marty...no boobs though. And I'm responding because this thread is currently at the top...eventually it will head into the sunset.

Hi Barry,

I've finally decided to buy those Hall Cabinet cards you showed me. Sorry for taking so long to make my decision.

>>>

I had anticipated a retort regarding those bygone days. Guess not.

just couldnt resist !

David as the middle name ?

BARRY "DAVID" SLOATE, IS THIS CORRECT ?

WELL YOU DONT HAVE TO WOORY (YES WOORY)ABOUT ANT RAPPING GOING ON FROM YOUR FAMILY, CAUSE THAT JUST FLAT OUT DOES NOT RHYME !..........

unless your real name is Bartholemew David Sloate, then do I understand and you like Barry better.

Cheers Barry you were sliding down abit !

Ahhh if I only had a good head shot of Barry....well one can always wish...

Hey John- if you look up Judy Sloate on Facebook there's a picture of me...go to it tiger!

Too small but I'll get you one day...just think 007 Barry...ahhh the combos are endless!

There is no baseball card market...there are only cards that Barry doesn't have room for in his auctions.

Thanks anyway...and I think it's time for Leon to lock this one.

this thread must NEVER be locked!


-The 1972 Miami Dolphins lost one game, it was an exhibition vs. Barry Sloate and three seven year old girls. Barry won with a roundhouse-kick to the face in overtime.

Keep this thread at the top.

The reason Barry is never on the forum Wednesday nights is because he reads his past catalogs to children at a nearby orphanage

Barry Moe & Curly
Barry the Cable guy
Barry Canilope ( the great piano player)
Barry also played Greg Brady

Someone really needs to get Wonka some scans of Barry to go along with this thread. May I also suggest Barry's two famous cereal box appearances from the 1980's

Boo-Barry and FrankenBarry. Apparently Sloate Chocula didnt catch on

not sure why the embed won't show up on ie

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMfXwJT_7E8

And Barry apparently leaves Quan speechless.

Good ones John...Sloate Chocula! LOL!

Barry has given up a lot for the baseball card world. He has passed up on many roles in the entertainment game. In fact he's the only actor to actually to finish filming and the present all directors with a court order to not allow the film to be released.

Why you ask? It just so happened that all the films below theatrical release dates were the same night as a scheduled Sloate auctions.

Barry ever the card perfectionist chose the auctions over fame...and lots and lots of money!

Han Solo...Originally Barry, given to Harrison Ford only after Al Pacino passed.



Rusty Ryan (Oceans Films)...Originally Barry given to the less attractive Brad Pitt.



James Bond originally Barry...Given to Daniel Craig. Interesting note originally the movie title was going to be Barry Royale.

I never looked better...where did you dig those up?

Soo, Kramer WAS right about the East River!

we see the buff Barry and the fact that you played Bond)s....explains it all.

BARRY Bond 007 !

You are now stripped from all of your status. We knew that your trainer and you were guilty all along.........good going Barry.

I'm holding my breath for the image from where he passed on the lead role of Walker Texas Ranger and they gave it to Chuck Norris.

Doug, CBS cut off negotiations with Barry when he scissor kicked Angela Landsbury.

This thread is destined to never die...kind of like that thing from outer space.

The thing from outer space you say? Hmmm.....I think you've just opened up a whole new avenue here Barry.

Oh Lordy!

As one of the first Jewish ballplayers Barry and Anson did not get along....



IMO I would not want Barry mad at me...he's a serious bad "a**"

but the last one is similar to the CHer movie "Mask"....when the boy look in the mirror and his face straightned out. Man BArry, you never looked so good!

Back to the song, Barry dont you walk so fast, oh oh oh oha BArry dont.......

I haven't had that much hair since 1978.

And Quan- I just got to see that cartoon you put on youtube...very creative indeed.

There's been a lot of talk about Al Rosen and Barry has always been silent...

Most folks dont know but they are brothers...and will be forming a new auction company "Prestige Worldwide".

Be sure to stay tuned for their world premier music video...Cards & Hoes.

Sherry Magee: "Hey, Barry, did you see my new baseball card?"

Barry: "That's a great looking card, but they spelled your name wrong."

Oh heck no. Wonka. How great are these??? hahaha. I love the Chuck Norris and Oceans pix.

Barry - sorry, I'm thinking you may not have wanted this thread bumped to the top, but art is art and should be recognized. Now we just need some Barry-haiku to round out the cultural experience. Who says we aren't a high-end board???

Nice John.

J

That's not art Joann, it's more like "gorilla" theatre (misspelling intentional).

Barry,is it true you were the only one who could get on the forum last night during the downtime or is that just a rumor floating around my smalltown Jersey shore McDonalds?

A haiku just for JoAnne...

Barry's rule for life
He who fails to pay on time
Ceases to exist


I can't take credit for that though(and wouldnt dare for my own safety) thats in the fine print on Barry's auction site

atop of the morning to you. AH, you were falling, what can I say.

What the hell - it's time for Barry to get another

Ian Kinsler hits for the cycle tonight,Barry Sloate hits for fun all the time

Contrary to popular belief, the Titanic didn't hit an iceberg. The ship was off course and accidentally ran into Barry Sloate while he was doing the backstroke across the Atlantic.
